Hi from London, UK

[Jessica99]

Hi ECF!

I've been vaping for nearly 3 years. Just seen that I've been a member on here for 2 1/2 years. I've never posted on here but I have visited many times because the information on here is so useful. I'm hoping to post about vaping advocacy in the UK section - and the main section too. I'm involved with Vapers In Power in the UK - it's a registered political party for vapers. We've been really busy and we've neglected to keep all the forums updated on what we are doing - trying to resolve that now. Liam Bryan (our candidate) will hopefully be posting details about one of our campaigns in the UK section later on.

I mostly vape using the istick and an aspire CF with a selection of tanks on top. A lemo arrived in the post today so I'm hoping to get into rebuilding. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the posts about that on here.

Hi, Jessica, Welcome to ECF!

Great to hear you're working on advocacy! Would love to hear how things are going.

Hi Jessica! I'd welcome you to the forum, but since you're more of a veteran of this place than I am, I'll just say hi!

I am curious to hear how our cousins over the pond deal with the legal aspects of vaping. It seems over here in the US our leaders don't know what to make of it.

 

[Jessica99]

Thank you all very much for the warm welcome.

Yes - it's all a bit of a mess in terms of what's happening with regulation for us. It doesn't help that the people in charge of regulating mostly don't have a clue about vaping, and often refuse to listen to vapers. There are some powerful vested interests lined up against us too.

So it's just like over here

Like Bonehead said, it's great to hear intelligent users getting involved in establishing and protecting our rights everywhere!

Welcome to ECF Jessica, keep up the good fight and vape on!

 

[Jessica99]

Thanks everyone - I'm definitely intending to vape on - and I hope you all are too. Let's all keep up the good fight - however we can - eg writing to our representatives, speaking to our doctors, commenting on online new articles, joining Facebook groups & advocacy organisations, or simply just by telling people how vaping has changed our lives for the better.

Hello Jessica. Make yourself right at home

 

[Jessica99]

Thank you very much Susan~S - lot of good information there, that was very kind of you Totally agree with djsvapour about Vape Escape - and I'm looking forward to reading Information and Resources for your first RBA.

This is a site which is really worth reading if you are interested in vaping news. It's run by volunteers and has a news section where they post links and articles to significant things which have happened, usually on a daily basis. It's a news digest really. It is based in the UK but the news is worldwide - it's really worth bookmarking this site

I'm not allowed to post links but if you search for "vapers org uk" you should be able to find it easily

 

[Chrissie]

Good to see you here Jessica

Here is the link to save folks having to search -

vapers.org.uk

 

[Jessica99]

Thank you Chrissie And - fancy meeting you here - it's a small world!

Welcome! That's a really interesting tactic, do you have a link to your site you could post obfuscated to avoid the wrath of the mods? e.g., www . elloguvnah . com.

Edit: NVM, Chrissie squared me. Which further validates my theory that people with cat & bird avatars are the most supportive.
